The only way religion should be handled in school is in a philosophy class
Which should talk about religion at most, not teach religion. You can talk about what religions believe and the differences between them, but you shouldn’t teach the religion itself.
History already has a class and last I looked religion was only touched on for the crusades and jihads. Religion should have its own department to allow in-depth discussion of it in all its many flavors.
Yes, religious study. Theology is part of religion.
Does that kick in at the primary and secondary levels now? Pretty sure that’s the levels that are getting all the cristofascist attention these days. And theology is taught from a religious perspective so guaranteed to be heavily slanted. No, I’d like to see all levels of education beyond preschool treat the subject of religion completely neutral and explore all of them not just the big ones. Would likely be enough material there for at least a 2 year program
I think you misunderstood what I tried to say there. Philosophy isn’t about religion, theology is. Philosophy does approach a lot of subjects religions tend to talk about. But it itself is not specifically about religion.
